By FITSNews || Seriously … how awesome would it be right now had John Edwards won the 2008 presidential election?
Sure, that would mean we’d be dealing with a hypocritical, trial lawyer douche bag in the Oval Office, but we’ll take that over a hypocritical socialist douche bag any day of the week. Plus, a President Edwards would be providing our Reality TV-addicted nation with more drama than it could handle – a welcome departure from all the recession-extending “blah blah blah” coming from the Obama White House.
Anyway, a week after the former U.S. Senator admitted fathering a love child with his mistress Rielle Hunter (and a day after it was revealed that his wife Elizabeth tried to kill herself upon hearing the news), there’s another Edwards bombshell.
This revelation also comes from a tell-all book about to be published by former Edwards aide Andrew Young, who was the guy who initially took the rap for his boss’s wayward penis.
From the National Enquirer* … errr, sorry … ABC News:
“There was one tape that was marked ‘special,’” Young told ABC News’ Bob Woodruff in an exclusive interview. “It’s a sex tape of Rielle and John Edwards made just a couple of months before the Iowa caucuses.”
Though Young never saw the woman’s face in the tape, he said she was “visibly pregnant” and was “wearing a bracelet” and a “thumb ring” typically worn by Rielle Hunter.
“It’s her jewelry,” Andrew Young’s wife, Cheri, told ABC News. “It could be on another woman with the same jewelry.”
Bow Chicka Wow Wow, people.
Edwards political career is (and has been) over, obviously … but if wishing made it so we’d have him striking that forlorn “Kennedy pose” in the Oval Office right now.
What theater!
Incidentally, it was Edwards whose entire 2008 electoral strategy involved running as far to the left as possible, while the “centrist” Obama promised middle class tax cuts.
Yeah … the centrist has since leapfrogged his “more liberal” primary opponent by a country mile …
*Say what you want about the rag, but the National Enquirer hasn’t missed with its coverage of the Edwards’ scandal …

Hope Mrs. Edwards burns him a new one in the divorce settlement.

So, both Young and his wife watched the video? Not all women are open to watching porn with their husbands, so good for her!
I saw another blurb somewhere that had Andrew saying something to the effect of, he wanted to look away, but couldn’t. How much of that thing do you think he watched, and did he FF through the slow parts?

Man if he wanted to go hogging, why not go home to his wife?

I hear you southernmapart, out in Texas we call it hogging unless you get ahold of a specimen from south of the border and that’s call “swine fluing.”

Let’s not foget the only reason we are now stuck with President Jimmy Obama is that Edwards split the vote in Iowa.
Frankly, President Hillary Rodham Clinton is more appealing than either President Jimmy Obama or President McCain.
